Celebrate Pennsylvania Whiskey (with an extra hour this year!)
This annual celebration of Pennsylvania whiskey welcomes distilleries from across the state to West Overton Village. All distilleries will be set up in the Museum, the former 1859 distillery, providing samples, knowledge about their brands, and selling products.
Along with the whiskey, enjoy a meal from Mission BBQ and our signature Whiskey Smash cocktail. Also enter for a chance to win a collection of whiskeys from participating distilleries!
The Whiskey Smash includes the James B. Beam Pennsylvania Whiskey Heritage Center, a fully renovated and redesigned floor of our Museum that honors the past, present and future of Pennsylvania whiskey. Browse the largest publicly accessible collection of Pennsylvania whiskey artifacts in the Sam Komlenic Gallery, which includes 270+ historic whiskey bottles. Enjoy a cocktail in the Overholt Stateroom, the vintage-inspired lounge that pays homage to the origins of Overholt™ whiskey at West Overton.
Overholt™ is recognized by whiskey historians as the longest standing American whiskey brand with an unbroken chain of ownership, production and sale since Abraham Overholt began distilling at West Overton in 1810. While the brand is produced today by James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky, West Overton is proud to be the “spiritual home” of Overholt™.
The Whiskey Smash benefits the nonprofit mission of West Overton Village. Our historic site, museum, and educational distillery invite visitors to discover the heritage of whiskey production at West Overton and across Pennsylvania.
This is event is for ages 21+ with valid ID only.
